IDAHOT Report 2016: Egypt

Due to security concerns and the threat of violence Egypt this year did not see any locally-held events within the county that we are aware of. It was, however included in a cross-national campaign run by Bedayaa Organization for LGBTQI in the Nile Valley and The Mesahat Foundation.
This campaign, which took place in Algeria, Egypt and Sudan, addressed discrimination and stigma across the region. The campaign included online messages aimed at raising awareness and tackling damaging attitudes which contribute to marginalization and stigma. For more information please visit the campaign’s Facebook page.
If you an activist or campaigner in Egypt and would like to tell us about your actions please get in touch directly.
